Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

"Master, something is wrong."

Within the Maolin, the rapid progress of the two people and one rabbit came to a halt. It was already a few minutes after they entered the Maolin.

As the distance gradually deepened, the surrounding ancient trees were towering and the forests were green. While the environment became more and more profound, a faint sense of crisis quietly enveloped them.

Ah Fu stroked the hare's hair with his hand, and looked to the right in front of Xu Yue, who spoke softly. If he looked carefully, he could see that the hare under him was tense all over, with two erect long ears on top of his head trembling slightly, and a pair of round little ears. His eyes kept looking around.

The hare has keen senses and is timid by nature. In its current state, it is undoubtedly that it senses that there is some kind of crisis around it, so it is extremely vigilant. If it were not for Ah Fu's comfort, it would have run away long ago.

Hearing the reminder from behind, Xu Yue nodded lightly. Even without Ah Fu's reminder, he noticed something was wrong with the surrounding environment. It was a little too quiet.

His right foot sank down, and the invisible vibration ripples spread outward, and finally returned to Xu Yue's mind. He raised his eyebrows slightly, turned to look at Mao Lin on the left, and a touch of silver spread quickly on his skin.

"The forest is indeed much more lively than the plains. It seems that the residents here are quite hospitable."

Before Xu Yue finished speaking, a series of explosions rang out in front of Xu Yue. In an instant, the forest fell and debris flew. Several tree trunks in sight disintegrated and shattered at the same time, releasing large amounts of smoke and wood debris.

A thick dark green snake tail tore through the smoke and struck Xu Yue with majestic force.

"when!!"

There was a thick sound of metal knocking in the dense forest. The snake's tail did not hit the target as expected. Instead, it came into close contact with a heavy tower shield that suddenly appeared. The two collided brazenly and were separated at the first touch.

The collision between the tower shield and the snake tail set off a turbulent air wave, blowing away all the fallen leaves and dust around. Under the heavy blow, Xu Yue and his shield were forced back by the brute force, and the heavy tower shield stationed at the lower end was pulled from the ground. A deep ravine emerged.

On the other side, the effects of force are always reciprocal. While Xu Yue was repelled, the incoming snake tail also felt uncomfortable. The thick dark green scales obviously could not compare with the purple-quality metal tower shield.

The price of close contact is that the snake's tail is also hit back, and a large number of scales are torn to pieces, revealing the strong muscles underneath and the constantly flowing stinky snake blood.

"hiss!!"

The injured snake's tail suddenly retracted, and a violent snake hissing sound suddenly sounded from the front, and then there was a muffled sound, as if something heavy was running over the ground and coming at a gallop.

Several more incomplete tree trunks were smashed by brute force, and a giant snake that was more than ten feet long jumped out fiercely from the dense forest. The giant snake's body was dark green, its body was thick but not bloated, and it swam extremely fast. , within a moment, they were already about 100 meters away from Xu Yue.

The cold snake eyes stared at the target not far away. All the muscles on its body worked together, and the snake body suddenly popped out as it contracted and expanded. The giant snake shot towards Xu Yue's direction like an arrow from a string. Coming, while the snake was hesitating, the ferocious snake's kiss opened, revealing a dark abyss of flesh and blood, like the mouth of hell.

The mouth of hell, which was nearly twice as wide as the heavy tower shield when opened, had not yet approached. The strong wind exuding a strong fishy smell had already arrived first. Xu Yue poked his head out from the side of the tower shield, looking at the dark snake kiss in front of him. He paused, and the identity of the giant snake immediately appeared in his mind.

The black mamba snake, known as the "African God of Death", is known as the most deadly venomous snake in the world. It moves at the fastest speed among snakes. It is cruel and killing by nature. It is extremely aggressive and its venom is even more deadly, even under normal conditions. The toxins carried by the Black Mamba are enough to kill 13-20 adult males, and now that this gigantic existence is so toxic, it is difficult to estimate.

After realizing the identity of the giant snake, Xu Yue immediately controlled the mana in his body to flow into his dantian. Boiling golden-red flames suddenly rose into the sky, wiping out the incoming fishy wind in an instant. The faint black also disappeared under the flames.

After doing this, the snake kiss in front of him was already close at hand. Xu Yue, who had been swallowed by a giant snake before, obviously did not want to experience that bad experience again. He took half a step back and then raised his right foot. , a fierce kick hit the inside of the tower shield in front.

There was a dense scream in the open space, and the two-meter-high heavy tower shield was kicked into a large number of metal fragments by Xu Yue. The fragments entwined with golden and red flames tore through the air and rushed into the open hole in front of them. In the snake's kiss, the two forces collided, and the flesh and blood in the mouth were penetrated by fragments, and a large amount of smelly blood spurted out in an instant.

As soon as Xu Yue kicked out that kick, he was driven backwards by the reaction force and was out of the attack range of Snake Kiss.

The black mamba stopped. This attack was a waste of time. Not only did it fail to swallow the prey, but it also made its own mouth bloody and bloody. If the muscles were not strong enough, the metal fragments would have been broken. It can successfully penetrate into the brain, otherwise it will be killed directly by Xu Yue.

The moves that are invincible against other prey on this island will only expose their weaknesses when used against Xu Yue. This was the case with the giant black snake that once devoured him, and the same is true with this black mamba now.

Many metal fragments with dark blood stains were spat out from the mouth and clinked on the ground. Black Mamba slowly raised his upper body, and some black blood overflowed from both sides of the closed snake's snout. After flowing to the ground, it suddenly moistened. There was a sizzling sound, corroding the rising black poisonous mist on the ground like concentrated sulfuric acid.

When standing upright, the black mamba is seven or eight meters tall, casting a large shadow that completely covers Xu Yue. Its huge head reaches down, and its eyes are filled with anger as it looks at the dwarf monkey beneath it.

Below, Xu Yue, who was covered in flames and looked up like a god in the fire, looked up. His golden-red eyes were silent, showing no emotion at all. The strongest thing about Black Mamba is poison, but poison is something that has pure quality. For Yang Yan's Xu Yue, it doesn't have the slightest effect.

As if sensing Xu Yue's contemptuous attitude, the anger in the Black Mamba's eyes grew stronger. Its tightly closed snake kiss suddenly opened, and a large amount of blood mixed with venom sprayed out towards Xu Yue overwhelmingly, sealing off all the space for escape.

Then the whole snake head was like a heavy hammer, smashing down from the top of the head, but this time it learned the lesson, and the snake's snout was tightly closed during the smashing process, not revealing any gaps.

Blood rain and snake hammers came one after another from above, but Xu Yue's expression remained calm. Flames all over his body rose and spread, evaporating the falling blood rain in the sky in an instant. At the same time, a black streak appeared on Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand. The phantom of the halberd immediately separated from the end of the halberd and went straight towards the smashed snake head.

"boom!"

The shadow of the halberd penetrated the blood rain and flames intertwined in the air, and collided with the huge snake head of the Black Mamba. The moment the two came into contact, the shadow of the halberd exploded, and the powerful impact prevented the snake head that should have been smashed off. Lift up for a moment under control.

Unlike the sharpness of the sword that breaks through armor, the shadow of the halberd wielded by Xu Yue only produced an overbearing and ferocious explosion.

The next second, a silver figure jumped high and appeared on the side of the slightly unconscious snake head. He swung the Zhang Er long halberd in his hand horizontally, and the broad end of the halberd tore through the air waves and slapped heavily on the side of the snake head.

A violent roar resounded in the air. The snake scales disintegrated where the halberd struck, and the flesh and blood turned into mud. The Black Mamba, a giant creature with a length of more than ten feet, was actually knocked away by this tiny figure. The thick snake-like body rolled and flew out to the left.

After a few breaths, the snake body fell to the ground, and the exaggerated weight smashed large pieces of smoke and grass on the ground.

In the rising smoke and dust, the disfigured Black Mamba staggered up. At this time, the small half of his face on the right side was already bloody and hideous, with a faintly exposed snow-white skull visible, and Fang Tian painted a halberd. The damage caused by the brutal effect is still brutal.

Just when the Black Mamba's snake head was about to lift up, a flaming fireball crashed down above his head. Xu Yue in the fireball held the tail of the halberd in both hands, and stabbed the halberd hard in a posture that was almost like a fisherman spearing a fish. Penetrate hard and vertically.

The Black Mamba, who had just suffered a heavy blow and had not yet regained consciousness, was unable to avoid the blow from the sky. The tip of the halberd cleanly pierced the scales on the head, and then the flesh and bones.

The newly raised snake head fell heavily to the ground again. What's more serious is that the front end of Black Mamba's head has been completely penetrated by a two-foot-long halberd and nailed to the ground.

According to common sense, the head was stabbed all the way through. Under such a wide-open mind, ordinary creatures can basically declare GG. However, the Black Mamba's powerful vitality did not allow it to die on the spot, but instead Because of the stimulation of severe pain, the originally chaotic consciousness suddenly became clear.

Feeling the strong aura of death spread throughout its body, the snake's eyes were instantly filled with the madness of dying, and it began to roll and struggle hard.

Sensing the strength surging under his feet, Xu Yue, standing above the snake's head, raised his eyebrows slightly. Then he raised his right foot high, and the flames lingering around him quickly gathered at the right boot, forming an almost solid substance. Golden red ball.

"boom!!"

As his right foot stamped down, a small golden red sun exploded immediately, with a faint shadow of a fire lotus blooming in it.

After a moment, the flames dissipated, revealing Xu Yue who was intact inside, and the huge snake head that was basically a charred body at his feet.

But even after being severely injured, with his scales turned to gray and both eyes destroyed, Black Mamba was still not dead. His head was still shaking slightly, and it was becoming more and more violent.

Xu Yue's eyes were slightly cold, and the thousand blades of the magic knife appeared in his hand. The brilliant light of the lavender sword flashed around the snake's body and neck. The black mamba snake's head separated, and finally there was no sound anymore.

Hearing the kill prompt ringing in his ears, Xu Yue took back the magic knife in his hand, reached out and pulled out Fang Tian's painted halberd still inserted in the snake's head. Flames spread out from his palm and quickly burned away the blood stains on the halberd. .

Although he killed an intruder, Xu Yue showed no sign of relaxation on his face. This black mamba was just a pawn that was driven here, and it was not the real hunter.

Withdrawing his gaze from the burnt black snake head, Xu Yue raised his eyes and looked into the distance, where screams like spears piercing the air were constantly heard.

On the other side of the forest, a strange creature with countless black and white spikes on its back was launching a fierce attack on Ah Fu and the others.

The creature just trembled, and the spikes on its back flew out of the air. A continuous stream of black and white spears tore through the air and shot towards the fleeing hare. The spears moved very fast, creating a trail of broken paths in the air. Shadow, but the hare's flexible ability to change direction is too abnormal.

The body flashed left and right, like a ghost, and its speed did not slow down at all. It was completely unpredictable. Even though the spears were densely packed, there was still not a single spear that could hit the target.

Keen perception + flexible direction change, with the cooperation of these two skills, the hare's dodge ability is almost fully maxed out. Although it cannot cause effective damage to the strange creature, it can protect itself without any hindrance.

His eyes paused for a moment on the running hare. After confirming that Ah Fu could handle it, Xu Yue turned his gaze to look at the strange creature that was still launching attacks. He quickly remembered the identity of the other party while thinking.

"porcupine?"

Porcupines can be called nature's 'iron pagodas' and 'masters of hidden weapons'. They are covered in armor and have thorns. The fluff on their backs can be converted into hard thorns, and the tips are also barbs. It can grow quickly and can even be shot at enemies like sharp arrows.

An adult porcupine carries a total of 30,000 sharp thorns on its back, which is something that tigers and leopards dare not easily provoke. It has happened more than once in nature that a leopard hunted a porcupine and ended up being covered in bruises by the sharp thorns.

The spikes of a normal porcupine are about half a meter long, but the length of this giant porcupine's spikes reached about three meters, almost approaching the halberd in his hand, and its power could penetrate stone and wood.

Xu Yue's pupils shrank as he watched a spear shoot through a hard tree trunk several meters thick. This porcupine's attack power was very strong, but no matter how powerful it was, it was useless if it couldn't hit anyone.

His eyes swept over Ah Fu, who was still able to quietly throw the dung beetle puppet out while dodging. Xu Yue withdrew his eyes and no longer paid attention to the battlefield over there.

Ah Fu was most likely training to cooperate with the hare's dodge. With the dung beetle puppet on his side, this porcupine was no match for him.

He also has a more important enemy, and that is the yellow figures that keep flashing on the edge of the battlefield. Those are the real hunters. Whether it is the black mamba or the porcupine, they are just pawns that they drive over to consume the prey's physical strength.

Xu Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, and the Eye of Manifestation quietly flew out from his pocket. After a moment, a large amount of information appeared in front of his eyes.
